The Challenge
Erbil’s urban environment faces significant ecological stress, marked by low air quality, minimal tree cover, and vulnerability to extreme weather. The Canopy Corridor addresses these challenges head-on, leveraging Hasar’s four-year expertise in afforestation.
Project Description
The Canopy Corridor initiative will plant up to 10K fast-growing, impactful trees along the 120m Road. These trees will create a verdant canopy, enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality, and providing a natural respite from urban stress. The project is not just about planting trees; it’s about nurturing a greener future for Erbil and its inhabitants.
